Dinner
A shared meal shaped around the evening's story.
Season One · The First Evening
The Birth of Coffee
The drink in your hand was born on a volcanic mountainside in Yemen. Come meet it properly.
The origin
Your Morning Started in Yemen
Before coffee became a global ritual, it traveled from Yemen’s mountain terraces through the Port of Mocha and into the world.
This evening brings that story to life through food, Yemeni coffee, storytelling, music, and hospitality.
